If I were the Coach...

and we were just destroyed by a 1-3 team I would be furious. In my post-game press conference I wouldn't be giving the same old speech about how we just didn't play good enough to win today. I would be outraged. Personally I absolutely hate losing at anything. I would have been disgusted in what I saw on the field and would have let everybody know about it.

What gave me some excitement this year was seeing Coach Lynch furious on the sidelines when the hoosiers were getting screwed by the officials. I felt like his Michigan post game press conference was a lot more of what I was hoping for out of our football coach. I wish he would've sat down after the Virginia game and didn't accept what just happened. It seems like we just sort of accept losing and that it isn't something that lights fire under us. We have a ton of potential and it would be nice to see our team not accept what is happening and come out fired up and ready to play week in and week out. Next week will answer a lot of questions about this team and where the season is headed.

We have the potential to change most people's attitudes towards Indiana football. We have a lot of potential with this years squad and the future squads, and if we face some adversity we can't need to just roll over and let it happen. Although I love IU basketball dearly there is no reason why we can't also have a successful football program. This is where our senior leadership needs to step up and get this ship back on track. So let's not accept our performance yesterday and come out extremely emotional and energetic against the Illini and show everybody what kind of football team we can be.
